With lamp lighting, a tradition that marks an auspicious beginning
and a plaque unveiling ceremony, Ingersoll Rand India officially
inaugurated a new greenfield manufacturing facility on March 20 in
Chennai, in Southern India. The Inauguration, attended by several of
the company’s top leaders, select customers and employees was held in
conjunction with the India Leadership Conference.

The new
manufacturing facility reinforces the company’s overall growth
strategy to drive innovation, technology and product development that
caters to specific markets, such as industrial efficiency,
transportation, food security, environmental control in buildings and
energy management.

Facility Will Serve Domestic and
International Markets

The company will manufacture a wide range of equipment,
including bus and truck air conditioners and commercial heating and
air conditioning products, in the new facility, which is located in
Mahindra World City, India’s first integrated business city. The plant
is spread over a greenbelt area of 15,200 sq. meters (about 3.8 acres)
and has many enhancements that reduce energy consumption, such as
solar street lighting and rain water harvesting. The plant holds a
Gold Green Building Certification from LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design), an internationally recognized green building
program.

"With its proximity to the local market,
this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility epitomizes our global
strategy to manufacture products that will serve the growing needs of
both domestic and international markets,” said Michael W. Lamach,
chairman and chief executive officer..

Building on a
100-Year Presence in India

"India is a strategic market for Ingersoll Rand
globally," said Venkatesh Valluri, chairman and president
Ingersoll Rand India, noting that the company has an established
presence of about 100 years in the country. "With this
inauguration, we continue to commit to providing sustainable and
energy efficient solutions in India."

The new
facility will employ 500 people once it reaches full capacity and the
products and solutions manufactured there will serve both the Indian
and global markets. Besides this new plant, the company’s operations
in India include two manufacturing facilities in Naroda (near
Ahmedabad) and Sahibabad (near Delhi); and two engineering centers in
Bangalore and Chennai. With a work force close to 2000, Ingersoll Rand
has presence in more than 18 locations in India.

The
Chennai Manufacturing Facility is located in Mahindra World City,
India’s first integrated business city.
